Shi, Can (author), Fan, Zheng (author), Connolly, David P. (author), Jing, Guoqing (author), Markine, V.L. (author), Guo, Y. (author)Railway ballast performance is dictated by a complex mix of mechanical properties. These effect its performance at the particle level for example in terms of particle degradation, but also at the track system level in terms of settlement and stability. Therefore this paper seeks to develop new understandings of ballast behaviour and identify...review 2023

Shi, Weibo (author), Niu, Dongyu (author), Li, Z. (author), Niu, Yanhui (author)The surface texture of asphalt pavement has a significant effect on skid resistance performance. However, its contribution to the performance of skid resistance is non-homogeneous and subjects to local validity. There are also a few deep learning models that take into account the effective contact texture region. This paper proposes a...journal article 2023

Ruzzi, Alessandro (author), Shi, X. (author), Wang, Xi (author), Li, Gengyan (author), De Mello, Shalini (author), Chang, Hyung Jin (author), Zhang, X. (author), Hilliges, Otmar (author)We propose GazeNeRF, a 3D-aware method for the task of gaze redirection. Existing gaze redirection methods operate on 2D images and struggle to generate 3D consistent results. Instead, we build on the intuition that the face region and eyeballs are separate 3D structures that move in a coordinated yet independent fashion. Our method leverages...conference paper 2023
